I am heading out for a 2 week vacation. It looks like I won’t be hear to see the counter roll over to 1 million downloads. So when will we actually get to 1 million? Right now we are at 854,694. It seems we are getting about 20,000 per day. So assuming no additional denial of service attacks, I am going to predict we hit 1 million on August 4. I will let someone else predict the time.

We would like to raise the awareness of Eclipse with Linux and Embedded Developers. Lots of people know of Eclipse as being a great platform for Java development tools. Eclipse also has a great C/C++ IDE which is being used by lots of companies as the foundation for their Linux and/or embedded developer tools.

This is sort of “better late than never”, but between traveling to JavaOne and our Foundation staff member meeting last week, I missed Kirill Grouchnikov’s blog posting on who fixed what bugs in Eclipse 3.1.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Eclipse.org was hammered by a DDOS attack when we posted Eclipse 3.1. You may have noticed that the form of the attack has almost certainly inflated the number of download requests showing in the “Eclipse Download Challenge” counter.
